The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In Leo's mental network, the situation of this pregnant woman is no different from that of other people around her. The expression on her face is also full of panic, but her physical reaction is very calm. But the moment she saw the pregnant woman, However, Leo's intuition reacted very strongly, constantly reminding him that there was something wrong with this pregnant woman.

Leo didn't understand why he had such an intuition at first, but through rational analysis, he quickly realized why his perception felt that the pregnant woman was not right.

At the same time, when the people around saw Leo's arrival, the people in charge of logistics all looked at Leo in unison, their eyes full of curiosity, because some behaviors of the caravan director Bran made them mistakenly think that Leo was what The mysterious big shots are all curious about Leo's identity and origin, and this curiosity is also very strong, temporarily suppressing the fear in their hearts now.

It was also because of the sudden change in the mood of these people that Leo perceived another abnormality, and was able to confirm that there was indeed something wrong with the pregnant woman.

Leo didn't think too much, he came directly to the pregnant woman, and said in an imperative tone, "Follow me."

Leo's actions not only surprised and flustered the pregnant woman, but also surprised everyone else, but soon the surprised look in their eyes was replaced by an abnormal gaze full of deep meaning, obviously they saw Leo He has become the kind of dignitaries with special hobbies. Among various folk rumors, it is nothing new for those big figures to have special hobbies, and they feel that Leo likes pregnant women more than the weird rumors they have heard. Come on, obviously a lot of normal.

And in the crowd, many women looked at the pregnant woman with envy. They thought that Leo was tall and majestic and had an extraordinary temperament. His identity was definitely not simple. The pregnant woman who was chosen by Leo obviously made money.

However, the pregnant woman who was the client seemed extremely reluctant, and showed a look of panic, as if Leo was not some tall and majestic nobleman, but a scourge.

However, no matter how unwilling the person concerned was, under the instigation of the steward in charge of the logistics team and other people around him, he stood up and followed Leo towards the grove outside the team.

If it was normal, Leo's behavior would not attract much attention. After all, some people just like to do things in the wild, but now that they may be attacked by monsters at any time, the area outside the caravan's defense circle It is extremely dangerous, and Leo's behavior looks like he is seeking his own death.

The people who saw this scene wanted to call him and the pregnant woman to stop, but for some reason they couldn't say what was on their lips. They could only watch Leo and the pregnant woman walk out of the caravan's defensive circle, feeling very sad. He quickly entered the woods and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The steward of the caravan and the head of the guard in charge of this area both reported this incident to Bran. In their opinion, the pregnant woman was fine, but Leo was a distinguished guest invited by Bran. Leo had an accident. If individuals do not report in time, I am afraid they will be punished.

However, after hearing the return, Bran first showed an anxious look, but then the anxiety was replaced by suspicion, and finally turned into a thoughtful look. After a while, he didn't send someone to find Leo immediately, but suddenly asked the assistant beside him, "When can pregnant women join the caravan?"

As soon as Bran's voice fell, there was a sudden commotion outside the caravan, and it quickly spread inward, and soon reached the ears of Bran and other caravan executives, and these caravan executives all looked at each other in blank dismay. I knew what to do, because the Kata Tribe campsite, which was empty just now, suddenly had a lot of people out of thin air, and those people were also very moved by the sudden addition of a large caravan outside the campsite wall. surprise.

Surprised, both sides reacted defensively. The camp quickly closed the city gate and sounded the alarm. The caravan also shifted the focus of defense to the camp, and the atmosphere here became tense. .

At the same time, Leo and the pregnant woman who entered the grove didn't seem to know what was going on outside, because being in this seemingly small grove was like being uninhabited deep in the primeval forest. Like the zone, all the movements of the outside world become extremely distant.

Leo stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the pregnant woman, his eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny, as if he was watching some strange species, although there was not much malice, but it could make the person being watched involuntarily A feeling of humiliated irritation arises.

However, the pregnant woman under Leo's observation did not show an angry look, and the worry and fear written on her face before disappeared, and she also looked up and down Leo with eyes similar to Leo's.

Neither of them spoke, and they both seemed to be testing each other's patience, but compared to the other who just looked at him with his eyes, Leo's movements were much more and too much. He not only observed each other with his eyes, but even He also used spiritual nets, psionic powers and other powers to check on the other party's situation, and these actions were not concealed in any way, especially when using psionic skills, his movements were so obvious that he directly told the other party that he was spying on the other party's secrets of power.

In the end, under the influence of this blatant intrusion, the pregnant woman finally couldn't bear Leo's unscrupulousness, frowned, and said directly: "Your behavior is a bit excessive."

Leo didn't hide his thoughts, and said: "Please forgive the curiosity of a scholar. After all, existences like you are very rare, and it is difficult to find suitable research objects."

Apparently, this is also the first time for a pregnant woman to meet someone as direct and unscrupulous as Leo. She didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, she asked in a deep voice, "How did you find me?"

"How did you do it?" Leo asked instead without answering.

Although Leo's rhetorical question was very simple, the pregnant woman understood what Leo meant. She was silent for a moment, and then said like a charade: "I exist, but I don't exist. I am a part of you, but I am not you." a part of."

After hearing the pregnant woman's words, Leo also showed a dazed look at first, but soon he seemed to think of something with a surprised expression on his face, and then turned to look at the pregnant woman, although the expression in his eyes was still It is full of meaning of research, but it is less dazed and doubtful than before.

Seeing the change in Leo's expression, the pregnant woman also seemed a little surprised, because after she said that thoughtless and metaphorical sentence, she never thought that Leo would find her own origin from this sentence, but Now Leo's expression was clearly telling her that she had no more secrets to speak of, which naturally caught her by surprise.

"It's impossible for you to know. You deliberately made such an expression just to scare me into telling the truth." The pregnant woman questioned, not fully believing the information revealed by Leo's expression.

Leo didn't explain either, but said in the same riddle-like words: "You never existed, but you have always existed. Everyone knows you, but they never know your existence."

"You, do you really know?" The pregnant woman was surprised when she heard the confused words, and looked at Leo again and asked, "Who are you?"

Leo calmly said to the pregnant woman: "My name is Leo Dodd, and I'm just an ordinary person with some curiosity."

The pregnant woman stared at Leo and said: "You are not an ordinary person. It is impossible for ordinary people to know me. Even those gods, most of them don't know anything about me. Even if I appear in front of them, He They also turned a blind eye."

Leo shook his head and said: "Most of the gods you mentioned are not real gods. If they are real gods, they will definitely be able to find you, just like I found you now. After all, you The camouflage is not perfect."

"It's really disappointing. I thought you had seen another life similar to mine." The pregnant woman said with a look of disappointment.

Leo said: "Existences like you are indeed rare, so rare that they are unique in the entire Velen world."

The pregnant woman was stunned when she heard the words, and asked, "You knew about my existence before?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "I've heard of it."

"Impossible." The pregnant woman immediately shook her head and said, "No one knows me..."

Before the pregnant woman could finish speaking, Leo drew a symbol in the air with his fingers, and after seeing this symbol, the pregnant woman's doubts before she finished speaking were stuck in her throat, and she looked at Leo as if His eyes were full of shock as he was looking at some incredible existence.

The pregnant woman doesn't know what the symbol drawn by Leo represents, but this symbol has existed since the moment she was born, so this symbol has a very special meaning to her, but now there is another human being How could she not be shocked by the symbol drawn in front of her.

"Do you really know what I am?" After a while, the pregnant woman asked in confirmation.

Leo denied: "No, I don't know what you are," and then added: "I just know that this symbol represents a special existence like you."

"You?" The pregnant woman caught another small detail in Leo's words and hurriedly asked, "Does that mean there are other existences similar to me?"

Leo gave an affirmative answer, saying: "There should be, but not in this world."

The pregnant woman didn't understand what Leo meant for a while, she was silent for a while, and asked, "How much do you know about existences like mine?"

"Not much!" Leo didn't lie, because he knew that this special existence in front of him in the image of a pregnant woman could easily distinguish any lies, even gods couldn't lie in front of her, so he said truthfully: " Some people have studied your special existences, but those people have never figured out whether you are real existences or spiritual hallucinations in other people's minds until their death, they just gave you a name for this kind of existence, called spiritual life forms."

There are various life forms in the universe, such as pure energy forms, such as star forms, etc., but among the many special life forms, the spiritual life form is always a special one.

The reason why it is special is that many advanced civilizations believe that spiritual life forms are real, and many high civilizations have specially set up departments for the study of spiritual life forms, while other middle civilizations have followed suit and set up similar departments and disciplines , Even the directory of life forms announced by the Supreme Council of the universe records the spiritual life forms, which can be said to openly admit the existence of spiritual life forms.

But the problem is that even if the entire universe knows that there are spiritual life forms, no one has ever actually seen a spiritual life form, even Omega-level advanced life forms.

Those who claimed to have seen the spiritual life body determined in some tests after the fact that their so-called spiritual life body was just an illusion produced by their mental abnormality, and it was not a real spiritual life body at all.

Although the existence of spiritual life forms is still doubtful, some advanced civilizations have deduced some things about spiritual life forms through some mysterious methods.

For example, the spiritual life body can sense the extremely subtle spiritual changes of any life, which makes it impossible for any life, including the Omega-level advanced life body, to lie in front of the spiritual life body.

Another example is that spiritual life forms are everywhere. Any life with the ability to think may have a spiritual life form. That is to say, spiritual life forms have a nearly eternal lifespan in a sense. Even if the universe is destroyed, as long as a new universe appears And produce a new life, then the spiritual life body can also be reborn in the thinking of this new life.

The reason why Leo judged that the pregnant woman in front of him was a spiritual life was entirely because when the mood of the logistics staff suddenly changed, the pregnant woman was absorbing the strongly changing emotions of these logistics staff, which also explained why these people's emotions and physical There will be that split-like reaction.

Because pregnant women absorb the emotions of these people, the bodies of these people cannot get the emotional feedback they should have from the spirit, and naturally they cannot produce corresponding physiological reactions.

In the research on spiritual life forms disclosed by the Supreme Council of the universe, it focuses on describing the reaction of intelligent life forms after the spiritual life forms absorb the spiritual emotions of intelligent life forms. This is how ordinary people judge whether there are spiritual life forms around them. One of the important criteria of body.

Although some gods in the Vinylon world can also absorb spiritual emotions, none of them are so perfect. Even Leo, a seventh-level psychic, can't find any abnormalities in himself even if he senses something is wrong. He himself can't find the source with a clear intuition. Even if the pregnant woman didn't show such obvious flaws, perhaps with the help of his own extraordinary intuition, he might not be able to find the other party.
